Milestones!




Reagan has been home with us just over a month now! She has been such a blessing to all of us. Michael and I were talking last night and really thought that the boys would be "tired" of her by now and thankfully that hasn't been the case. Still, every time Riley sees her he says"Hello my Sweetie". Reed loves to hand off his favorite Webkin of the day to her when he leaves for school and insists that I make sure she has it to keep her company. I really didn't realize that the boys would show such a love for her right off the bat. I prayed that they too would feel the bond and God has truly taken care of that. Reagan also enjoys following her brothers around and being in the middle of the craziness. She laughs such a sweet laugh when they are acting silly and playing with her. It is such a joy to sit back and just watch them!






Since we have had her, she has started cruising around furniture and walls, and crawls really well. When we met her in the orphanage for the first time she couldn't even crawl more than a foot. Now, she can walk behind her walker and is starting to stand without assistance. She is waving bye-bye to everyone and just yesterday started blowing kisses. Her hair has grown a ton and she is cutting multiple teeth constantly. Three have come in since Christmas! :-) She also is very vocal! We had spent a total of 4 hours with her before we were able to leave the orphanage and never heard her say or babble anything. Now, she will scream with the best of them. When we are in the car and she isn't getting attention she will screech as load as possible and when we look at her she just giggles. I guess that is what #3 has to do sometimes.






We also had her first US doctor appointment and were very excited to see that she has made it to the charts in weight! She is still under the 5% but is growing. Her height is in the 20%, so she is doing well. We still are waiting on all the other test results but am thankful for the progress that we know. She is 14 months old and weighs 18.8lbs.

Blogging and 3 kids don't go together!

I keep trying to update this but once I have some time in the evening I just collapse! I am loving life with three but also trying to stay abouve water at this point. :-) I guess moving to a new city, having a house on the market, enrolling and unfortunatly unenrolling kids in school also has something to do with it.

Thanks for being patient with me! :-)
